Paris, the essentials of the city

During your Parisian journey, an iconic place to visit is the Flower Market, in square de Louis-Lépine. This market usually opens early in the morning, and is a beautiful way to start the day with the pleasant aroma of freshly cut flowers, accompanied by a showy display full of colors.


Afterwards, a good idea is to go to the Batignolles neighborhood, a small oasis of simplicity in the middle of one of the busiest cities in Europe. Here you will appreciate a different Paris, less touristy and more traditional. Let yourself be enchanted by its small streets, simple shops, charming cafes and unmissable gastronomy.


Once you have spent half the day visiting and getting to know, you can head to other places of interest, where the best of Paris awaits you, such as its monuments.

The magnificent Parisian monuments

Paris is known worldwide for its iconic monuments, as this city has dozens of historical points that are worth visiting. Among the most important sites, the Arc de Triomphe stands out. Of equal importance is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris, always guarded by its watchful gargoyles.
At the Arc de Triomphe you can see the names of many characters who fought on behalf of France, in addition to taking an inevitable photograph. However, if you want to see the monument inside, you will have to buy a ticket.


If you decide to visit the Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris, you will be able to appreciate the beautiful architecture and interior decoration that it has, without neglecting its beautiful stained glass windows. Its structure impresses from the first moment, regardless of whether you are a believer or not.


Then, if you want to have a relaxing moment in the middle of the Parisian bustle, an excellent alternative is to go to the Tuileries Garden. This beautiful park has an extremely quiet environment, as well as extensive green areas that are combined with striking statues.

Ending the day

On the other hand, to end the day there are several options. One of them is to go to a Parisian cafe to spend a peaceful afternoon while you remember your day. But, if you are more daring, you can go to the centenary Moulin Rouge and culminate your tourist day with a great cabaret show.
You may be wondering what to do about other significant places in the city, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. In this case, it is best to leave them for a next visit, since, if you only have one day, you will hardly be able to enjoy these spaces in an adequate way.
To enter these places it is necessary to invest hours of waiting before being able to enter, and once inside, it is also necessary to dedicate enough time to them.


Beyond this, Paris will dazzle you so much in just 24 hours, that you will surely be left with an infinite desire to return to stroll through its streets, enjoy its delicious food and feel that atmosphere so full of life that only such an imposing city can offer to your visitors.
